Mihajlovic, Roberto Carlos, Maradona, Zico, Rivelino, Koeman, Platini in that order.

Here's probably the best free kick you'll see. Roberto Carlos in a friendly against France just before WC 98.:



From today's era I can only think of very few free kick "specialists" who can actually get my heart beating, mainly Juninho Pernambucano and Nakamura.



Pretty much any type of kick you can think, curls, direct, folha seca("knuckle ball"). You'll notice a lot players that hit consistanty from one spot or something. For example, Ronaldinho, a great player and when the ball is at the right position (just left from the goal, from the players standpoint and a few yards from the box) he always goes for a parabola to the near post. Juninho can hit it pretty much from anywhere.
